Product Description

Mechanical Analysis and Other Specialized Techniques for Enhancing Reliability (MASTER)

Mechanical Analysis and Other Specialized Techniques for Enhancing Reliability (MASTER)

MASTER provides a thorough, in-depth discussion of competing approaches to predict the reliability and expected life of mechanical parts and systems, including Statistical Analysis of relevant failure data, Physics of Failure modeling, Empirical Failure Models and Data, and other less common but acceptable methods.

The document also describes the mechanical reliability process, including the role of these predictions and other necessary testing and analyses for the production of reliable mechanical systems, and the nature of mechanical failures, including a discussion of underlying failure mechanisms.

MASTER is recommended either as standalone or as a companion to Quanterion’s NPRD-2016, FMD-2016 and Techniques to Evaluate Long-Term Aging of Systems (LAST) publications.

The Influence of Reliability, Maintainability, Quality, Supportability and Interoperability on System Affordability

The Influence of Reliability, Maintainability, Quality, Supportability and Interoperability on System AffordabilityThis publication discusses how the effective application of Reliability, Maintainability, Quality, Supportability and Interoperability (RMQSI) tools and processes will ensure that essential warfighting capabilities are delivered that meet system suitability requirements at the most affordable cost. The publication describes how each of the RMQSI disciplines impacts the overall affordability of a system during the evolving phases of its life cycle.

The Influence of Reliability, Maintainability, Quality, Supportability and Interoperability on System Affordability

Quanterion Solutions Incorporated has developed the Optimized Reliability Requirements and Cost Analysis (OR2CA) tool for one purpose: to present a methodology that develops contractual reliability requirements that are fully aligned with stated End-User Operational Reliability needs and expectations based on all of the categories of root failure cause that contribute to potential mission loss or degradation. To implement this methodology in a manner that supports the Department of Defense (DoD) “Better Buying Power” initiatives, Quanterion has automated the DoD RAM-C Rationale Report Manual to integrate the Sustainability and Availability Key Process Parameters (KPPs) and the Reliability and Ownership Cost Key System Attributes (KSAs) requirements into a comprehensive “solution” for developing and specifying contractual reliability requirements based on optimized Total Life Cycle Cost (TLCC).

The relationship of RMQSI costs to the Sustainment and Availability Key Performance Parameters (KPPs), the Reliability and Ownership Cost Key System Attributes (KSAs) and the RAM-C Manual processes are discussed. The publication comes with a MS Excel-based tool titled “Optimized Reliability Requirements and Cost Analysis” (OR2CA), developed by Quanterion Solutions Incorporated, that automates the RAM-C process and incorporates three innovative ideas from the Authors presented in the publication: (1) how to define better specified inherent system design reliability requirements from stated warfighter operational reliability needs, (2) cost optimization to support investment decisions regarding reliability growth activities during design/development and test, and (3) a more effective Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to capture actual reliability costs as a function of measured reliability improvement to provide more accurate ROI analysis and interpretation.

Mechanical Analysis and Other Specialized Techniques for Enhancing Reliability (MASTER)

In the recent history of engineering, extensive efforts have been placed on developing approaches to predict the reliability and expected life of mechanical parts and systems. While the available work is extensive, it often focuses upon narrow aspects or single approaches to reliability modeling. As such, it is difficult for an engineer with little or no experience in reliability to apply these methods to real-life situations. This document is specifically targeted to address this problem, outlining the competing approaches to part reliability predictions, including Statistical Analysis of relevant failure data, Physics-of-Failure modeling, Empirical Failure Models and Data, and other less common but acceptable methods. Furthermore, the document also describes the mechanical reliability process, including the role of these predictions and other necessary testing and analyses, for the production of reliable mechanical systems.

MASTER is recommended either as standalone or as a companion to Quanterion’s NPRD-2016, FMD-2016 and Techniques to Evaluate Long-Term Aging of Systems (LAST) publications.

Techniques to Evaluate Long-Term Aging of Systems (LAST)

The report is broken down into the following sections:

Section 2 addresses general environmental design considerations for aging during in-service conditions;

Section 3 discusses aging factors as they relate to ferrous and non-ferrous metals;

Section 4 provides an overview of aging as it applies to polymer materials;

Section 5 covers general reliability design considerations and appropriate tasks/techniques.

The Reliability Information Analysis Center mission has continued to evolve over the years, with the greater recognition that reliability, maintainability, and quality are critical military system and commercial product attributes. Coincident with this evolution has been the recognition that these attributes have much more encompassing impacts than their specific attained metrics. For example, where at one time the measure of reliability called mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) was of interest in itself, now management and system planners have expanded their interest because of how that MTBF impacts such issues as sustainability and total ownership costs. Part of the refocusing of reliability-related needs is the concern over long-term aging effects on systems in operation and in storage brought about by systems having to last longer. The objective of this report is to highlight the impact of long-term aging effects on parts, assemblies and equipments by investigating characteristics of aging as they impact specific material classes. The report is broken down into the following sections: Section 2 addresses general environmental design considerations for aging during in-service conditions; Section 3 discusses aging factors as they relate to ferrous and non-ferrous metals; Section 4 provides an overview of aging as it applies to polymer materials; and Section 5 covers general reliability design considerations and appropriate tasks/techniques.

Optimized Reliability Requirements and Cost Analysis (OR2CA)

Historically, there have always been disconnects between the inherent reliability of a system before it “goes out the door” and the reliability that it achieves in the field after delivery to the End-User. In the past, this has typically been blamed on inadequacies in reliability prediction methodologies, most frequently those based on Handbooks. This assumption, as discussed in the Nicholls and Lein 2013 RAMS Paper “When Good Requirements Turn Bad”, is erroneous and has diverted attention away from the real issue: the specification of bad contractual reliability requirements that do not reflect all of the failure cause categories that result in unsatisfactory field performance.

Quanterion Solutions Incorporated has developed the Optimized Reliability Requirements and Cost Analysis (OR2CA) tool for one purpose: to present a methodology that develops contractual reliability requirements that are fully aligned with stated End-User Operational Reliability needs and expectations based on all of the categories of root failure cause that contribute to potential mission loss or degradation. To implement this methodology in a manner that supports the Department of Defense (DoD) “Better Buying Power” initiatives, Quanterion has automated the DoD RAM-C Rationale Report Manual to integrate the Sustainability and Availability Key Process Parameters (KPPs) and the Reliability and Ownership Cost Key System Attributes (KSAs) requirements into a comprehensive “solution” for developing and specifying contractual reliability requirements based on optimized Total Life Cycle Cost (TLCC).

The OR2CA tool was developed by Quanterion as a supplement to the publication it developed under RIAC, “The Influence of Reliability, Maintainability, Quality, Supportability and Interoperability on System Affordability.”
